"'Goldenheart' put you on a battlefield in medieval times. 'Blackheart' will put you in a place where you're stuck in a rainforest by yourself, and you realize that you have all this armor, but you have this blood on you as well.

“Lazarus” is an dance-EDM style track, but it has that New Orleans brass under it.

Yeah, it’s got a bop; it’s got that brown behind it, that soul in it. That bop, that underground soul, that black, can totally be in there, and exist in pop culture and electronic culture

ouiiiiiiiiiiiiii

. I’m glad that it is relatable, and maybe people who loved Goldenheart have some love here because they love that R&B sound, while I’ve also developed this whole new fanbase with Blackheart and a lot of EDM fans who’ve never heard of me. I really wanted to make an album that spoke to both parties.

ouiiii !!!

With the trilogy over, is it a cathartic feeling, or is there anxiety about what’s next?

No—there’s a martini and a fucking rocking chair and some fucking tea, that’s where I’m at.
